  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Waterways by Kyell Gold
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Waterways by Kyell Gold Kyell says: Waterways came about through an odd series of circumstance, starting with me joining the now-defunct eroticfurrywriting group. I did not set out to write an inspirational text for young gay furries, but "coming to terms" (as opposed to coming-of-age) has always been a theme of my writing, and that naturally came to the fore in Kory's story. I've been surprised and touched by the number of people who have taken strength and inspiration from this story. I appreciate all the letters I've received from all of you about it. Waterways by Kyell Gold. Here are a few questions I get asked pretty often. If you want to ask me anything else, check out my Contact page for my contact info. Will you read my story? Correct your spelling, grammar, and punctuation. In your first draft, you can be sloppy. You should not be showing your first draft around. Anything you show someone from whom you want a professional opinion should be as professional as you can make it. Read your story aloud to yourself. Not in your head. Out loud. Read it to a friend, if that will help. You'd be amazed at what sounds fine on paper but ridiculous out loud. Write down in one sentence what your story's about. It can be a long sentence. For example: "Waterways is the journey of a young otter coming to grips with his newly realized sexuality." Or "Volle is about a young spy learning to think with his head as well as his sheath." If you can't do this, maybe your story needs to be more focused.

  • Fursonas and Stigmatization in the “Human” World
    LUCAS, TORIE E., M.A. Wolves, Dragons, and Ponies… Oh My!: Fursonas and Stigmatization in the “Human” World. (2017) Directed by Dr. Gwen Hunnicutt 112 pp The “furry fandom” is a broad term that generally refers to a subculture in which members have shown a deep invested interest in anthropomorphic or zoomorphic creatures and artwork. A “furry” is referred to as an individual who cultivates a “fursona,” which is a unique character that is personified through an anthropomorphic or zoomorphic creature exhibiting both human and animal characteristics. These “fursonas” are typically exemplified through cartoon avatars and other forms of artwork and costuming. Current research centered on the furry fandom is quite limited and primarily focuses on psychological frameworks regarding identity formation. For the purposes of this study, I utilized a broader understanding of identity cultivation, management, and concealment within a stigmatized subgroup, by incorporating sociological constructs based around identity performance and anthropological conceptions of masking. This study encompasses qualitative responses from ten self-identified “furries.” The information gained from these participants helps to support and substantiate previous research findings, while also broadening the scope of identity formation within a peculiar subgroup. “WOLVES, DRAGONS, AND PONIES… OH MY!: FURSONAS AND STIGMATIZATION IN THE “HUMAN” WORLD by Torie E.

Two and a half years after they left High School together, Reis and Marcus have attempted to settle into a life with one another. But they are far from home, family and friends, and are swiftly leaving behind their teenage years as they embark on the difficult journey towards adulthood. While Reis struggles with near unemployment and strives to find a purpose in his life that does not revolve around his relationship, Marcus has become so invested in his college life and local Activist group he leads that he has begun to change as a person, and the two cannot seem to go a day without an argument coming between them. Tragedy steps into their lives, and as it so often does, forces the two to stare down a hard reality. Things have to change between them, and if neither can accept the thought of making significant compromises for the other, the fact that they love one another just might not be enough. Everyone has to grow up. Can a relationship founded in High School survive the rigors of the adult world? Art and story by Rukis.

Amanda Visell Strength in Numbers The Battle for Monster Park Related Articles: MONSTER PROJECT BATTLE OF THE BANDS “Art Basel” Release of Swindle Icons Vinyl Invasion! Zu Boutique Furries By Camille Lowry Photos by Peter Bohler In recent years, the subculture known as the Furry Fandom has been the subject of episodes of Entourage and CSI, and profiled in Vanity Fair. In each portrayal, furries were shown as sex­crazed oddballs in animal­ mascot outfits. However, the members of this community insist they have been misrepresented. There is far more to their world than “Johnny Drama” spanking Shanna Moakler in a bunny suit. The furry fandom consists of people who appreciate humanoid animal characters in art and media. Many older furries, or “graymuzzles,” credit classic animation like Kimba, The White Lion and Watership Down for inspiring animal fascination. Furry characters also include fantastical creatures such as unicorns, werewolves and satyrs. The website for the furry convention Anthrocon defines the community with the following statement: “We are bound together across the most daunting barriers by our mutual admiration for these beasts of myth and legend who, by simple reflection, give us a better window into ourselves.” Just like the diversity found in most large groups, there are vast differences between furries. Many are artists or art enthusiasts. A subgroup claims to have spiritual connections with animals and practice a sort of Native American totemism.

    Volume 1, Issue 19 March 2011 2 Editorial: Late! I’m late again. I’m a bad faned. But hey, at least this one’s coming out in the month after the previous one, right? I’ll try to be timelier in April. Part of the delay was that I had to update the con listings to include URLs, since the hyperlinks I thought I was so cleverly giving you weren’t actually working. Another delay was that I’ve been trying to focus more on the job, so I wasn’t creating this when I should have been working (at least, not as much as usual). Hopefully, the result was worth the wait. We’ve got cover and interior art from Mike Moon, this time with his website noted in the pieces. We’ve got the updated con listings, which felt like they just took *forever* this time. We’ve got a great edition of the LoC column, which usually happens when I’m late – I think a few of you just need an extra week to write in. And then, we’ve got an article from SFC Vice President M. Lee Rogers/Mike Rogers (Mike, I’m never sure which name to call you by in print – could you clarify that?) about a get-together he’s organizing to celebrate the 25 th anniversary of ConFederation, the 1986 Worldcon in Atlanta. I was too young to attend the original, but hope to be able to join y’all for the anniversary. Thanks, Mike, for sending that in!
